is exactly the issue. Hearing that news in early May of '06 made me so happy. I mean, I was about to go back to working at the Lego store for the summer, and even though I knew I was going to be back at school in September it was still something that made me, I dunno, proud. The dvd release of the original versions and lego star wars: the original trilogy on the same day.

Then digitalbits broke the bad news.

I remember at one point over that summer explaining to one of my coworkers how 16:9-enhanced video worked since I'd learned all about it a couple years earlier. As I said before, I was back at school by the time the release date rolled around. Ever since then it's like there've been fewer and fewer reasons to actually pay for anything Star Wars. Hey, I might've actually been interested in the lego videogame if we hadn't gotten the finger with that laserdisc transfer, but nope, that possibility was now gone. Then, when I'm working over this past winter, we get toys from both Force Unleashed and The Clone Wars a good EIGHT MONTHS before they're due.

Really?

Then just the other day I hear that Dark Times is getting put on hiatus after the remaining scheduled issues, and that was the only comic book I was still following. This show will be on tv, and presumably so will the live action show. Barring the possibility of picking up force unleashed for ps2, I'm pretty much done with it.

The way I look at it is that the more I'm not spending on this stuff is the more I'm saving for the box set that we all know is going to happen eventually.
